you can't "get rid of god off the face of the earth" by simply not having it in an oath to an office in a governent which, for the 1756th time,
is not a theocracy. All that does is eliiminate a meaningless phrase from an oath which is supposedly taken seriously. It simply has no function. What does it expect to happen --- that the oather needs help from God to execute the responsibilities they signed up for? That they can't do it themselves? Kind of a contradiction for a religious culture that claims it believes in free will, is it not? Or is it a crutch to lean on when the subject fails to execute that office, then they can blame "God" for not helping? Makes no sense at all. They might as well ask "so help me the Goodyear Blimp" or "so help me a twelve-millimeter wrench socket", except that those things can be shown to exist.
And again, the Constitutional oath to the highest office in the land asks for no such "help" either.
At some point people have to start taking their own responsibilities on their own backs and quit blaming some mythological wispy semi-gaseously anthropomorphized concept. At some point --- we gotta grow up.
You underestimate me, sir. I have dealt with my fears and made a decision. I ruled in favor of the collective wisdom of my far more experienced grandparents who gave their all to supporting those who lost the most in war fought for other people's freedom from scorch-the-earth monarchs and their ambitious successors such as Hitler and his Mufti Pal who wanted to murder each and every man, woman, and child of people whose worst "crimes" were self-discipline and thrift that enabled to help whoever they chose. And while the world's attention zeroed in on Hitler, unscrutinized bullies in other parts of the world hastened to commit egregious genocides in their own real estate areas that did not come to the attention of the world until Hitler left the stage that enabled all this mass murdering. My mother well understood this principle, and when and if my brother or I made the egregious error of criticizing a group of people we formerly were at war with, she chastised us. Her gentle words were "The war is over, and victory was decided in our favor. Do not make it worse for the defeated or they will reconnoiter and make you pay a price for your ill will." That's exactly what the Bible teaches--revenge is Heaven's job. Getting along with each other is ours, and if we don't, we have to pay a price for our own arrogance. I choose to fear offending God's word, and trust me, the Bible is a vast book of human experience that I draw on whether people here hate me for it or not, or draw in an unthought principle in one situation that is irrelevant in another. I learned how to cut through the crap, nothing more. For example, the business of not bearing false witness works in a non-wartime capacity. In war, all else has broken down, and telling the truth to someone who would murder all persons you care about requires an understanding of relevance that could lead to a nation's demise. You have to trust God to help you out when you are under fire. If you don't, someone cruel will eat your and your battalion's collective livers, burp, and forget you and millions like you they would scorch the earth under if you let them. I choose to practice mercy when I am not at war. I am at war with people in America who sanctify murdering 58 million future citizens by turning the female population of this nation from learning to support a mate for life to collecting chopped off foreskins and more. Some things just aren't fitting in our society. The wisdom of my elders was to teach very strongly that someone needs to keep the home fires burning. That's part of my decision. I consider abortion self-murder that is beneath the pale. It takes self-hatred to wipe out one's own family's dna, especially when it is a precious one. That's what the feminine movement has drawn itself toward, and I don't like the drift. The one good thing God gives them, they despise, and anyone who asks them to stop and think hard about something the immediately register as their personal enemy worthy of having the earth beneath them scorched so severely they will cease to exist. That is the essence of human lunacy, imho. We aren't like other animals. And if we do not clean up our act, nature will grant her blessings of the earth onto another form of life that will hitlerize human life. I will fight for human life because our future depends upon what we decide to do to end this horrific practice that makes serial killers out of women. I believe that will destroy the DNA that thousands of years of human wisdom has bestowed. Brainwashing women to cut off the future is just a bad idea, all the way around. And teaching women to go chockehold somebody who doesn't ring their bells is another bad idea we actually had a representative in Congress try to proliferate what kind of power over the masses? Produce people that are so hateful that verbal assault becomes a weapon of choice against every little thing? That's just a plain bad gene to foist on future generations, and I hope that is quelled at the source. DNA is a powerful thing. Underestimate DNA and you will have a future that will decimate the entire human race in a short amount of time..
